ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.
Mr.. ]. H. Lane, Candidate for City
Marshal, Narrowly Escapes Being
Killed Last Night.

About nine o'clock last Wednesday
night. Mr.. J. b. Lane, proprietor of
a meat market on South Jefferson
street, and candidate for City
Marshal, narrowly escaped being
killed BY Q. pistol shot. He was seat
ed, together with his fsmily and
some neiGhbors, who had called to
spend the evening, in room on the
south side Of the house, near an un-
covered window, whes the occupants
OF the house We're startled by the re-
port Of pistol, quite nSpr the house,
and by the noise. Of falling plaster.
An investigation disclosed the fact
that the bullet came through the win
dow, and tore away great patch Of
plaster about eight inches above Mr..
Lanes head, and, had he been stand
ing up, would have certainly,resn
in his DEATH. A moment after the
shot was fred, Mr.. Lane went out Of
doors, but could see no one in any
direction. Had the report Of the
pistol been farther from the
house, and the bullet struck the
house with less force, Il might be
probable that the shot was STRAY
one; but under the circumstances, il
looks very much as II it was an at
tempt at assassination.

SHE STILL BOOMS.
New Houses and Real Estate Going up
at a Rapid Rate.

A LEDGER reporter IN company
with Councilman Bunton, and Street
Commissioner Burhop, made o tour
of the Fifth Ward this morning. He
found everything in that pretty por-
tion of the city alive and busting
with activity. Bolivar and Brecken-
ridge streets, from Jefferson east, are
being graded and fixed up in splendid
shape. Jefferson street, the dividing
line of the Fourth and Fifth Wards.
is being thoroughly macadamized,
and is now one of the smoothest
streets in the city. The Fifth Ward,
along Boliver and Breckenridge Sts.,
abounds in beautiful building sites,
many of which are being bought for
for this purpose,though any of the lots
can be bought and disposed of in q
short time at profit. Besides the
new residences going up, and the &C.
tivity in real estate, the Fifth Ward
will have Washing machine factory
within its limits in a few weeks, work
ing quite number Of hands.
Street Commissioner Burhop and
Councilman Bunton deserve much
credit for the substantial manner in
which the sidewalks and streets Of
this portion of the city are kept.
The boom is not by any means
confined to the Fifth Ward. Over in
Northwest Mexico, new buildings are
going up, and things are Frightening
up generally, while out in South
Mexico the people are tickled with
the prospect Of the new bridge, which
will increase the value Of their prop.
erty, as the heretofore dangerous pas
sage from the south end to the bust.
ness portion of the city will be
made safe.
Let the boom continue!

Cook on Judge Burckhartt's Court
where he Gets His Ideas.

A short time ago, the Mexico Intel
ligeacer published statement in re-
gard to the conduct OF criminal mat
ters in the Moberly court, which,
like about all the editor of that paper
has recently published relative to
such affairs, was one half false and
the other half guess work. He rem
ders bill of costs in our court in
which he makes ''cost to county on
procuring 377 indictments, 1885;
costs in 304 cases dismissed. average
IS per case. 81. .520-total cost to
county S3,405." The fact is that the
cost of procuring the 377 indiet-
ments did not exceed $40, as two
witnesses furnished the bulk of the
testimony. In the cases dismissed
not single cent of costs was paid,
or ever will be. So that instead of
the county of Randolph being mulcted
in the sum of 1882 over the fines
received, the school fund is ahead
S73. the costs in the cases tried were
paid by the defendants, a wholesome
lesson has been taught violators Of
the law and the county is out $40
Moberly Monitor.
Cook got his ideas about the Pros
ecuting Attorneys office from one Of
two persons. BY grace of the ap-
pointing power and not by the vote
of the people he became prosecuting
attorney of Warren county. His
patron saint and stockholder in his
paper, T. B. Buckner, as will be re-
membered, has filled that place in
this county for portion of the time
for which he was elected We pre-
sumo our friend of the Intelligencer
gets his ideas of extortion and cor
ruption, &c, &c, from his patron
saints experience. On this ground
his poor opinion of attorneys and
prosecuting attorneys, in particular,
should be excused. After associating
with himself and I. B. Buckner,
who had peculiar style of disposing
of state cases, we are not surprised
when he notices that Macfarlane,
Forrist, Barnett, Robertson, Bobin-
son, Burckhartt ct al, do business in
a way very different. 1t is often the
thieves who cry out, ''stop thief.
We presume Cook figured out the
enormous costs in The Randolph
cases on the plan which "me and
Tom" used to follow. Tom" it
will be remembered, had to disgorge
some before he left. The ex-prose
cutting attorney from Warren, "me, >
and the representing attorney from
Audrain, "Tom," make an erudite
and immaculate pair. They should
be appointed general superintendent
of all prosecuting attorneys in the
State, and be invested with unlimited
powers.
Mexico weekly ledger. (Mexico, Mo.) 1855-1956, 1887-03-24

A CIRCUMSTANCE which shows con-
cluslvely that the late Grand Jury
was misdirected in its search of the
Circuit Court records, is that they
entirely overlooked the fact that
Buckner, at the Jan. term, 1886, dis
missed seven cases against Hamilton
Hall and six against e. II. Green, o
druggist of Martinsburg--thirteen
cases in all. Buckner took a fine of
$40 in three other cases against the
last named druggist at the same term.
1t is also fact that the present
Prosecuting Attorney dismissed six
whisky cases against druggist at
the Jan. term just past. The Intel.
hgencer, in its "maply, straightfor.
ward speech and action" (?) should
not he impartial. These facts alone,
If there were nothing else, are suffi-
cient to demonstrate the malice and
dishonesty Of The instigators of the
report and the editor of the Intelli
qencer. We do not intend by this
to reflect On Mosby's official conduct
it only shows the absolute necessity
of the Prosecuting Attorneys duty te
use discretion and exercise his iudg
ment to the best interests of tht
county. As far as we know Mr.
Mosby is making a most conscienti
Gus, faithful and painstaking public
servant, which he could not be if hs
did not exercise his discretion ant
judgment in the handling of stat,
cases.
